The net could see its biggest transformation in decades if plans to open
up the address system are passed.

The net's regulators will vote on Thursday to decide if the strict rules
on so-called top level domain names, such as .com or .uk, can be relaxed.

If approved, it could allow companies to turn their brands into domain
names while individuals could also carve out their own corner of the net.

The move could also see the launch of .xxx, after years of wrangling.
